Hi Pam, Chuck again;
Shuda knowed it wouldn?t be that simple, but I always try the
simple/easy stuff first. I try not to be like the mechanic, you tell
him the car won?t start, and he immediately wants to replace the
alternator, instead of checking the battery cables.
Other than clearing the history, perhaps through ?Tweak UI?, that?s
all the ideas I have, good luck. .

Hi Chuck,
Wish it were that simple, but it isn't. For example, I click on
google, from my Favorites, and it takes me to google. Then one day I
click on the same link and it might take me to yahoo, or amazon, or
evolt, or any other web site I may have visited in the last 3-6
months.
It doesn't matter if I type in the address, or if I click on a link in
a page, or if I link to it from my Favorites.
That's what makes it so wierd! I can see the address I told it to go
to in the address bar, but at the bottom left, in the status bar, I
can watch that it is trying to take me elsewhere. If I simply hit
Refresh repeatedly it will eventually take me to the correct URL.
Pam

Hi Pam, Chuck here;
It certainly has been quiet on the Duct Tape front, hope that means
that all machines are optimally running.
My suggestion for your situation would be, that the typed URL over
enthusiastically ?auto completes? with a recent URL, as you type in
the first part of the URL you presently want. Check under ?Tools?,
?Internet Options,? look at ?content? and check ?Auto Complete?. I
use IE6, I hope the process is similar for your EI.
Let me know!

Hi all,
It's been pretty quiet here these days. Hope everyone is doing well.
I have a question/problem that's been ongoing for quite some time but
I've just been ignoring it.... sort of.
I have IE5.5. Occassionally, when I type in a URL, IE takes me to a
totally and completely different web site, almost always one that I've
visited some time in the past but not necessarily one that I've
visited recently. I've noticed that it happens more frequently (and
almost constantly) if I haven't emptied my cache in a while. This is
definitely not a redirect that is happening, atleast not one that is
ordered by the site I'm trying to access.
Anyone have any ideas?
Pam
